Home air conditioning in Leicester
In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment. Leicester is one of the main towns we cover in Leicestershire, alongside Loughborough and Hinckley. We cover LE1 and LE19 and the streets around them.
Rooms and systems
Where a home in Leicester faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight. If a system in Leicester has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. For a holiday home or annexe near Leicester, Wi-Fi control lets you warm it up before anyone arrives. We service most makes found in Leicester homes, including systems we did not install.
Design-led units, slim floor consoles and concealed ducted systems are all options where a standard white wall unit would look out of place. For a single hot bedroom or living room, a wall-mounted split is usually the simplest answer. Two to four rooms often suit a multi-split on one outdoor unit, while a ducted system hides everything except the grilles.
Guide prices in Leicester
On our East Midlands figures, a multi-split is typically £2,345–£7,445 for 2–4 rooms, a service £90–£180 per system visit, and an air-to-air heat pump system £2,845–£10,995 for 2–5 rooms, all including VAT. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
For most houses in Leicester, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey. For flats in Leicester, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
If your home in Leicester is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
